Our expert NHL predictions expect the duo of Auston Matthews and William Nylander to be too much for the Buffalo Sabres to overcome tonight! We’ve got four games on the NHL betting slate tonight, including a divisional matchup between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Buffalo Sabres.
William Nylander has been asked to shoot more this season, and with an elevation to the top line, I fully expect him to be firing everything he can on goal tonight to make the lineup changes pay off.After seven games of mediocrity, Leafs bench boss Craig Berube has had enough of the stale play from the top line and has shaken things up. for the first time this season. This duo has had success in the past, scoring 4.06 G/60 at 5-on-5 with a 54% shot share, averaging over 34 shots per 60 minutes and a 64% goal share. The market I’m eyeing tonight is the shot prop market, and it’s Nylander’s number at 2.5 that has my attention. Despite leading the team with 13 points, it’s been a slow start for the Swedish forward this season in the shots department, averaging just 1.71 shots per game to this point. However, Nylander has averaged 2.71 shots per game over his career, elevating that average shot total to 3.24 per game over the last four years, which should make 2.5 a relatively easy number to cover. Additionally, he’s been challenged by coach Berube to shoot more. Considering the Sabres have been susceptible to lofty shot totals against them this season, averaging 33.1 shots against per game, which ranks 31st in the NHL, I expect that to be the game plan. I'm anticipating a lot of offensive-zone starts for this Matthews/Nylander duo as well, which should lead to more offensive production —or at the very least, shot production. Together, Matthews and Nylander combined for 64 goals over the last three years when on the ice together. The Leafs captain has 21 goals in 29 meetings against Buffalo, including at least one goal in seven of the last eight showdowns between the two teams. For the final leg of the SGP, I’ll take the Maple Leafs on the moneyline. I expect the lineup changes to pay dividends tonight and end in a victory. They’re the better and more rested team with an extra day to prepare. : Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
